SUMMARY OF TAX. LEVIES, PAYMENT PROVISIONS, <br />AND MINNESOTA REAL PROPERTY VALUATION <br />The followin is a sum of certain statutory: <br />9 ry ry:provisions effec#ive. beginning 2t7'['1 relative. to tax <br />levy proced u res, tax payment and credit procedures, and the mechanics of real property valuation. <br />The summary does not purport to be inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions <br />discussed, and is qualified by reference to the complete text of applicable statutes, rules and <br />regulations of the State of Minnesota. <br />Property Valuations (Chapter 273, .Minnesota Statutes) <br />Assessor's Estimated Market Value <br />Each parcel. of real property subject to taxation must, by. statute, be appraised at least once every <br />five.years as of January 2 of the year of appraisal. With certain exceptions, all property is valued at <br />its market valise; which is the value the assessor determines to be the price the property to be fairly <br />worth, and which is referred to as the "Estimated Market Value." <br />Taxable Market Value <br />The Taxable Market Value is the value that property taxes are based on, after all reductions, <br />limitations, exemptions and deferrals. It is also the.value used to calculate a municipality's legal <br />debt limit. <br />Indicated Market Value <br />The Indicated Market Value is determined by dividing the Taxable Market Value of a given year by <br />the same year's sales ratio determined bythe State Department of Revenue. The Indicated Market <br />Value serves to eliminate disparities between individual assessors and equalize property values. <br />statewide. <br />Net Tax Caoacitx <br />The Net Tax Capacity is the. value upon which net takes are levied, extended and collected. The <br />Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate percentages specific to each type of <br />property classification against the.Taxable Market Value. Class rate percentages vary depending <br />on the type of property as shown on the 101 page of the Appendix. The formulas and class rates for <br />converting Taxable Market Value to Net Tax Capacity represent a basic eleriment of the. State's <br />property tax relief system and are subject to annual revisions by the State Legislature. <br />Property taxes are determined by multiplying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate, plus <br />multiplying the referendum market value bythe market value rate. <br />Property Tax Payments and Delinquencies <br />(Chapters 275, 276, 277, 279-282 and..549, Minnesota Statutes) <br />Ad valorem property taxes levied by local governments in Minnesota are extended and collected by <br />the various counties within the State.
